Hey everyone (again). Okay, so during the last post, someone mentioned about the Repository being timed like Coltazan's Shrine and I think there may be some truth to that. This is my list so far (It's not much...yet):

:20-Book
:40-Lost Desert Food
:50-Book

If anyone else has something to add, please do so.

0:)

I got Sphynx Links at :18 and a Sand Orange at :37. I don't think the seconds has anything to do with it.

After reading the first post I think I understand it, but it seems very hard, and I already started school, so I don't think I'll be able to solve the puzzle

If I have any problem I'll come here again.
Thanks

I got this going into a room that matched my description, but it's nothing good OR bad, right?

Thanks to whoever can help!

That just means you went into a trap door. Not a good thing necessarily, because you are locked out for an hour. If you are not finished mapping, avoid entering any doors, other than the plain black passageways, until you're done. If, on the other hand, you are trying to find your statue and went into a door of the correct color and shape, you can mark that symbol off your list and eliminate it as the door to statue.

Hope that helps a litle.

Glad we could help. As for solving, we tend to be spoilers most of the time - you can just come here and follow along.

Mapping the temple will be the most confusing and time consuming thing you'd have to do (so far, at least) and it takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours from what I hear. Once that's done, the rest is fairly easy.

Tanwo, don't give up hope. The way this plot is starting to drag on, you'll have plenty of time to catch up. Just do your best and don't give up! ^_^

Okay, makes sense. I'm not done mapping . . . So I shold probably stay out of the doors . . .

I'm collecting sand for my son on using firefox. He has low stats and seems to every time get a goody... I arrived at the repository before him and colelcted much more sand and only received goodies about 4 times out of 20.. and he gets some nice books out of it.

Just a small question from a lurker...

When fishing in maraqua, do you recieve the parchment when you actually get something, or just when you click.

Because I clicked and it said I had to wait, but I'm not sure if it gave me the fragment.

....I.e had a whoopsie and closed all my windows.

You have to actually catch something.

Thank you

I feel better now.

How long does one have to wait though? Or is there a certain time for the Underwater Cavern?

If your pets aren't catching anything, try every half hour with each of them. Usually the time varies from 6-12 hours, but sometimes one of your pets catch something early.

WOOT! *ahem*
Sorry, just happy that I didn't have to wait. Didn't know that each of the pets could take a turn, so no wait time for parchment!

....

Thank you again!

So I'm guessing we will have to hope to find and bring the physical scrolls to the scroll repository in order to figure out how to get the city back.

Agreed?

This brings me to my next question. Do many people have the physical scrolls? I know there are a few around. But I don't hear of many people getting them often. Any of you guys holding any?

What are they called, so I can look them up on the wizard. I know back in the beginning of the plot it said we should hold on to them, and that made me assume they'd be more popular.

The scroll repository has been completely uncovered. It stands gleaming in the sun. But... there doesn't seem to be any way inside. It looks like the engineers forgot to leave empty space for the scrolls!

Wow! The repository was buried under 104,034 handfuls of sand!

You! Take a 15 minute break!

The foreman actually grins for once. "Looks like we got the thing uncovered!" But the grin quickly turns to a scowl. "Too bad them stupid engineers didn't build the thing right in the first place. There ain't no space inside for scrolls! What kinda scroll repository do ya call that?!"

Yay it is done!!! though I don't know what to do from here now...
